When Rand dies
Pelle Johansson
I've been thinking on what will happen when Rand dies. We know he's a hero of the Wheel, Arthur Hawkwing told him so. From Birgitte we know that the heroes live on in TAR, and that they then remember all their past lives. It is also possible for a hero to exit TAR into the real world (although mighty painful). Finally, the Ael'finns told Rand "to live, you must die".
Well, I think you can see where I'm heading. When Rand dies, he will go into TAR. Suddenly he will have all of Lews Therin's (and previous dragons) knowledge. For all we know, he might even remember the last 3rd age. This would put him on more or less equal footing with the DO when it comes to knowledge. Only problem is he'd be dead and bound to TAR.
Well this is where the power-girls kick in. With all the marvels they come up with (well Rand too I suppose), doing something already done before, and one of them even witnessed, doesn't seem too big a challenge. They might even do away with the pain part.
And of course Rand doesn't know he'll end up in TAR when he dies, so someone has to tell him first (yeah, like that'll ever happen).

Ok, I really think you need to find another new newsreader. I'm not
sure I've ever seen anyone post with line lengths that long. (not that
I have too much experence). First maybe check the help file in that
one though, maybe it will give you some insight on the settings? If
you havn't done this already.

Just think about what is going to happen when Mat blows the Horn and
summons all the Heroes of the Horn.

Not a bad theory. I'll give you points for originality because this is
quite different than the other theories I've heard about his 'death'. I tend
to believe he'll fulfill this prophecy in a some what similar way Mat did
(to die and live again). Not saying he'll die the exact same way, but that
he'll die in a way that isn't complete death and some how be brought back.
Anyway, excellent theory, but get a new news reader. ;)

event that would make the whole of Randland think that he's dead. This
would have to happen after he's defeated the Dark One of course. I
also think that Logain, with all the glory that Min's been seeing,
would rise as a leader of some sort, probably the Asha'man or maybe
the whole channeling community, Aes Sedai and Asha'man alike. Maybe
even claiming the title of Tamyrlin?

Actually to go one further on this theory, Nynaeve has the ego and the
tools to do it. Firstly she wants to heal someone 'three days dead'.
Secondly she knows the weave to dropkick someone out of T'a'R into the
real world. (She saw Moghedian use it on Birgette)
Of course the downside to this theory is that Min would go mad and
head into the blight to kill as many Trollocs as possible, or possibly
go insane and slap some sense into the
$PREFFERRED_GROUP_OF_ANNOYING_CHANNELERS. I'm not sure exactly how the
bond breaking on a non militant person works. Also there isn't any
specific evidence as to what happens when the bond between two
channelers breaks, whether one is grief stricken as a channeler or
psychopathic as a warder.

I'm not positive but I think Nynaeve's block was stopping her from
seeing flows at the time.

Yup. Nynaeve could only see flows when angry, and we definitely know
she was anything *but* angry at that time. She was terrified. I don't
think Nynaeve can rip anyone out of TAR, not unless she sees someone
do it *now*; and then that would be quite redundant.
